AMES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa State is getting ready to take another
shot at ending its long losing streak on the road.
      The Cyclones have lost 13 straight road games heading into their
Big 12 matchup at Baylor on Saturday night. That skid includes nine
straight road losses in conference play.
      Iowa State hasn't won away from Ames since a 42-14 victory at
Texas A&M on October 29th, 2005.
      Coach Gene Chizik says he's not sure why the Cyclones struggle
on the road but notes his players get a lot of energy from the home
crowd and it's up to the coaches to generate that energy on the
road.
      Iowa State (2-3, 0-1 Big 12) is coming off a 35-33 loss to
Number 16 Kansas and has lost its last three games. Baylor (2-3,
0-1) lost to Number One Oklahoma 49-17 in its Big 12 opener last
week.
